Annotations

The High Temple at Lamanai in Belize stands 33 meters tall and dates back over 2,000 years, making it one of the site’s oldest structures. It served as a ceremonial platform for religious gatherings. While once climbable, access is now restricted due to a serious accident. From its summit, visitors could see over the jungle canopy and the New River Lagoon1.
